This type of threaded reducer fitting is a standard component in gas piping, black iron distribution systems, and industrial plumbing assemblies. The hex profile allows for easy installation and removal using a standard pipe wrench or open-end wrench. Plumbers, pipefitters, and gas service technicians use this fitting when transitioning between pipe sizes within a threaded iron pipe system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack hex bushings are commonly used in residential and light commercial gas supply lines, compressed air distribution, and black iron piping networks. This fitting threads directly into a 1-inch female fitting and accepts a 1\/2-inch male pipe connection. The black iron finish is appropriate for gas service applications where galvanized fittings are not permitted by code. Packaged in quantities of 10 units per package, this fitting suits both service calls and new installation work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-inch female to 1\/2-inch male threaded reducer configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex body profile allows wrench engagement for secure installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack iron finish suitable for gas piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in a package of 10 units per pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard NPT thread form for compatibility with black iron pipe systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement fitting for threaded black iron pipe systems requiring a 1-inch to 1\/2-inch reduction in residential and commercial piping assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) for gas service applications. Shut off the gas supply or depressurize the system completely before making any threaded connections. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for gas service to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded iron fittings, as this may crack the fitting or damage mating threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch (female)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch (male)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 units\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.23 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: EA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: B K Mueller Industries (Import)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 521-953HN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SOUTHLAND","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51558222954802,"sku":"521-953HN","price":25.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fbcea2daf1e6246f88ddc13e1d9ddc65_02af208a-e126-436c-b63e-f8ba59067bbb.jpg?v=1786406495","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/b-k-mueller-521-953hn-black-hex-bushing-1x1-2-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
